guilty of second-degree murder or manslaughter. phil keating live in florida with more. phil? >> reporter: about hundred people are gathered outside the seminole county courthouse. they have been hanging out there all day long. out here today, 8 and a half hours -- and still, no verdict yet for george zimmerman. he is, of course, the most famous defendant in the country right now. the he was in court this morning at 9:00 a.m. the judge took her seat. the all women jury returned to the courthouse for the matter at hand which the nation really awaits. is george zimmerman guilty of second-degree murder? is he guilty of manslaughter? or is he not guilty at all? the former neighborhood watch leader that was carrying a loaded concealed handgun killing 17-year-old

trayvon martin was justifiable under florida's stand-your-ground law. after martin bought candy, he was wearing a hoodie. zimmerman spotted him in the neighborhood, thought he looked suspicious, followed him and called police. zimmerman claims martin jumped out of the bushes attacked him. punching him in the nose and bashing his head repeatedly in the sidewalk. his attorney mark o'mara dramatically carried a chunk of concrete for the jury to see. any notion that a sidewalk is not a deadly weapon is, quote, disgusting. jurors deliberated three and a half hours yesterday afternoon before retiring to their secret hotel after 6:00. they only had one question for the courted yesterday, to get an inventory list of all the evidence submitted in the past three weeks of trial.

outside the courthouse, couple dozen demonstrators, supporters of zimmerman and martin urged justice to prevail. high humidity and scorching sun. not one question has emanated from the jury deliberations room. jurors did take a one hour lunch break from noon to 1:00. past two hours they have been back at deliberations, still no verdict as we stand out here and waited for any developments. as soon as a verdict is announced, we will bring that to you live. then, of course, take those proceedings live when those happen. by the way, this is a six-person jury, all women, five white and one hispanic. it's not a 12-person jury, in state of florida you only have a 12 person jury

in a capital case. zimmerman is convicted of second-degree murder faces 25 years to life in prison. >> heather: phil, thank you. with the case resting in the hands of the jury. let's take a look back. it was back on february 26 of last year that trayvon martin was shot and killed. at the time police referred to george zimmerman although not by name as a suspect. a month and a half later, he is charged about second-degree murder and taken into custody. fast forward to june of this year. jury selection begins. ten days later a six member panel is assembled out of all women. trial begins on june 24th, both sides present opening arguments. one day later they see the first pieces of evidence, graphic photos of trayvon martin's body. then neighbors take the stand and dramatic testimony from rachel

jentell she was the on the phone with trayvon martin right before he died. july 1st, lead investigator in the case testified. jurors see an reenactment of the scuffle. next day the state medical examiner takes the stand and says zimmerman's injuries were minor. on 5th, mother and brother say frantic screams were from trayvon after the state rested its case. last monday, five witnesses testified for the defense that the voice belongs to zimmerman. zimmerman's family said it was him. next day, a forensic expert says the evidence supports zimmerman's story. george zimmerman tells the judge he will not take the stand. then the prosecution gives closing arguments. the judge says that she will allow the jury to consider the lesser charge of manslaughter, but rules

out third-degree murder. finally yesterday, the defense delivers the closing arguments. the judge gives the jury final instructions and deliberations begin. >> gregg: here is what we know so far about the six member all women jury. juror number one, hispanic nurse with several children, she lived in chicago at the time of the shooting. juror number two, middle-aged white woman, 30 years of age, one child is an attorney. >> middle-aged white woman and described protests in sanford as rioting. juror number four, white woman, she knew a good deal about the case. not married and doesn't have any children. juror number five a young white woman and her mother. she used to work in financial services. this case is an example warning her two kids not to go out at night. juror number six, a white

woman in her 60s. she lived in iowa at the time of the shooting. married with a grown son. she has been the victim of a crime. jury is certainly heard a lot of emotional testimony as well as some heated exchanges between the defense attorney and the judge. last night, they asked for a complete list of all of the evidence and inventory while it seems they have a lot to consider, prosecutors are asking them only to consider one key question, why did this happen? take a listen. >> why did this occur? what led up to this? at the time of the shooting was it necessary to shoot him? the defense has all these photographs of the injuries. i don't think i need to show you the one photo that

counts, do i? >> gregg: which would be the autopsy photograph. joining us is judge alex ferrar, the host of judge alex and from florida, you know florida law very, very well. you did hear the prosecutor right there use the phrase, it was not necessary to use lethal force. that was about the only time he did it. the jury instruction literally uses those two words on self-defense, reasonableness and necessity. why didn't we hear the prosecutor really drive that point home in front of the jury? >> that is a great question. we didn't hear pounded by the defense as far as the self-defense instruction. it's really not solely about necessity because it doesn't have to be necessary it has to be perceived as necessary. when they were arguing the case, the prosecution who did the rebuttal he made the same wrong argument. he didn't have to shoot

him. that may be the case but perception he had to shoot him that is enough. the reason he didn't pound that point home is because the prosecution knows that as the losing argument for them. the law is in favor of mr. zimmerman and matter of his perception the way he found himself getting injured. >> gregg: did he reasonably believe, i'm reading from the jury instructions to do what he did. what is interesting in florida once you invoke self-defense, it shifts the burden from the defense to the prosecution to disprove beyond a reasonable doubt self-defensive. >> that is where they are weak. they don't have the evidence to disprove it. they have the evidence to create a doubt and how severe were the injuries and you got this fighting issue between the medical examiner who said the cuts aren't serious and indicative of severe pockets to his head that should have required him going to an e.r., all you

can do is raise a doubt --. >> gregg: subject of injuries, mark o'mara did precisely. that he basically told the jurors, zimmerman may not be injured at all to defense himself. take a listen. >> zero, zero. no injuries necessary to respond with deadly force. not on cut on his finger. the statute is clear. reasonable fear of bodily harm. >> gregg: all right. there he did drive it home. that was about the only time he did it. then he said, you know what ladies and gentlemen of the jury the injuries he suffered is just icing on the cake which i regard is

rather unfortunate? >> choice of words was not best. pointed i try to make, if you are at home and you hear a noise and grab your gun and somebody is coming through your window and shoot and kill him, it turns out your daughter has told the neighbor's son, come over, i left the window open. you just killed an innocent boy but you are not guilty because it was per accepting that you were in fear for your life. we have vastly different because you are out in the street but to the extent you have injuries are ice ought cake. they are in addition and help justify your reasonable fear. >> gregg: it shows zimmerman's state of mind which is the critical part of self defense. you meant john guy misstated ago few things. i happening -- misstating. he delivered the rebuttal closing argument and here he is stand your law. listen carefully. >> let me suggest to you in

the end, this case is not about standing your ground. it's about staying in your car like he was taught to do, like he was supposed to do. >> gregg: that is sort of fudges the law quite a bit? >> quite a bit. the reason you see the prosecution doing that, they are good lawyers but the reason in pounding home the emotional this tears at your heart strings, trayvon was never a cardboard character they have to depend on the jury making a emotional decision in case. if they follow the law they will render not guilty. >> gregg: there is no requirement or law that forces george zimmerman to stay in his car even if a non-emergency dispatcher, you don't need to follow. he can still follow. >> he could follow. i think he did. going to street sign to get

an address. >> gregg: prosecutor made it seem in the clip we just played he had to do that under the law. >> he made it seem like and we don't need you to follow is some kind of violation. he put up the guidelines for being a neighborhood watch which may be kicked you out of the neighborhood watch but it's not illegal either. so when a confrontation occurs, who threw the first punch, only evidence is from george zimmerman that trayvon threw the first punch. >> gregg: thanks very much. >> heather: still to come after monitoring emails from consultant james rosen, eric holder promising to treat journalists differently when it comes to leaks. >> and country music legend randy travis recovering from emergency surgery following a stroke.

>> heather: justice department issuing new guidelines about conducting leak investigations involving journalists. department adding new hurdles before prosecutors obtain subpoenas targeting reporters. growing complaints that journalists' rights were violated in high profile cases. joining us is now jamie weinstein. thank you for joining us. along with those accusations, accusations it had in fact criminalized journalism that related to fox news very own james rosen who was named as a criminal co-conspirator says the doj could have access to his records, his telephone records specifically and email. so what about these new guidelines. i understand there are five of them. how have they changed and what are the changes? >> i think there is two really big ones here. one of them from my reading would prevent something what happened to james

rosen from happening again. they could not, justice department could not, charge a journalist as co-conspirator in crime for merely performing news gathering activities in order to get a subpoena for a leak investigation. it looks to me it would prevent a future james rosen situation from happening again. the other big one i think people are pointing to, is the government would have to notify in most cases news organizations if they are going to subpoena records of a reporter. that would give the news organization the ability to challenge that subpoena in court. now, that is not completely and complete and total. the attorney general has the power, according to the guidelines in rare circumstances where the entirety of an investigation could be harmed, to waive that for 45 days and then another 45 days but it would have to be attorney general himself. so the onus would be on

him. it is possible that the 90-day period where they would be looking and subpoenaing records without a news organization knowing about it. >> heather: nothing in the new regulations outright prohibits the seizure of media records? >> there is nothing that prohibits that. prosecutors can subpoena and get records. there is nothing that prohibits that. i will say there is another good point for transparency, the justice department is going to compile every year a list of subpoenas and warrants that it requested from news organizations. that is not going prevent anything but that is going to be out there for in full disclosure so people can see it and review it. >> heather: there is going to be what they call a news media review committee? >> right. it's not clear what powers they are going to have. they are going to be able to talk to the attorney general and give their opinion on what should happen. they are not going to

invested with so much power but the transparency angle a s is a positive. >> heather: attorney general issued a statement the guidelines will help ensure the proper balance is truck when pursuing investigations into unauthorized disclosures. do you think these improvements, these guidelines strike that balance, do you agree with him or does more need to be done? >> at the end of the day, it's at the discretion of the attorney general. attorney general can waive telling a news organization for 90 days if he wants to that they are investigating. you basically still have to trust the attorney general and the justice department. as you know, many people especially on the right and even on the left these days don't have that much confidence in eric holder himself to strike that proper balance. there is a still a trust factor you have to have with whoever is running the justice department. >> heather: does it mean that these go into effect or what is the next step? >> as far as i know they will go in effect very soon.

they haven't given the exact date but the justice department will say they will go into effect very soon. they don't have to be passed by congress. this can be issued by the justice department. we don't know exactly yet, but we are told very soon. >> heather: all right, jamie weinstein, thank you for joining us. >> gregg: one state passing new abortion restrictions and some of the most restrictive in the nation. >> heather: plus, the tears and drama and the testimony in the george zimmerman case. we will break down some of the murder trial's biggest highlights. >> trayvon martin may not have the defendant's blood on his hands, but george zimmerman will forever have trayvon martin's blood on his. hey linda! what are you guys doing? having some fiber! with new phillips' fiber good gummies. they're fruity delicious! just two gummies have 4 grams of fiber!

must convince the jury beyond a reasonable doubt that he harbored ill-will toward martin but there is no evidence of that. take a listen. >> so to buttress their position that george zimmerman, it just didn't trayvon martin that night. >> gregg: i don't know about that. let's bring our legal panel lis wiehl and mercedes cowan. the case begin when john guy the prosecutor, opening statement to the jurors and he exhibited arguably ill-will? >> first words out of his mouth, words from zimmerman that night. he didn't couch it. he didn't try to buffer it. he started with the expletives. i'm not going to repeat those. >> gregg: blank, blank and he is getting away with it.

>> it's a shock value. >> gregg: is that ill-will? >> that is what they are arguing. that is all they have evidence other than the other other calls he made zimmerman. five calls came in. calls not expletives like that, evidencing nervousness about people and robberies in that neighborhood. that could from the prosecution's perspective that could lead to a thought of harbored ill-will. depraved mind. that night trayvon martin at the wrong place and wrong time. >> i think it's difficult at getting murder two. that is why the prosecutors are pushing so hard for manslaughter because they knew, they hadn't been able to establish, ill-will. even with random statements that zimmerman attributed, that is not enough. >> depraved mind without

jurors might compromise if they don't? >> that is why they prosecution wanted the manslaughter. they desperately toward the end. >> gregg: isn't it interesting that in the jury instruction on manslaughter, it's not about cull tackle negligence which was a choice here. it's simply, intentional act resulting in death and mere negligence is not enough. >> it's not enough but they also have to show he reasonably perceived that his life is in danger. >> gregg: i have to play another clip because so much has been said about race in this gays. john guy delivered the closing argument for the prosecution, said to the jury, this is not about race and then arguably, he introduced race. take a listen. >> ask your selves, all things being equal, if the

roles were reversed and it was 28-year-old george zimmerman walking home in the rain with a hoodie on to protect himself from the rain, walking through that neighborhood and a 17-year-old driving around in a car who called the police who had hate in their heart, hate in mouth, hate in their actions. if it was trayvon martin who had shot and killed george zimmerman what would your verdict be? that is how you know. >> gregg: are their racial con oh tiagsz? >> all over. that is -- connotations? >> this is not about race.

remember that elections are not the goal. too many people begin to think once there is an election, america just just abide by whatever the outcome. the united states needs to be able to put ford its own priorities and decide whether or not current governments like the morsi government that just fell, whether or not they are actually a good government for the united states. we have the right to put forward our own policies. let's make it clear it's a very difficult situation. no one envys the obama administration being in this situation but we should speak very clearly about freedom, economic development, freedom of the press, those are the goals that we share. those are the goals that we should be putting forward. >> heather: mohammed morsi is out but the muslim brotherhood who supported him they have made clear they are not and the
